No, this blogger was not given the opportunity to experience ümobile’s ad-driven/low-rates sim card first hand. A lot of bigger names in the tech arena of the blogosphere, however, were given these ultra-exclusive sim cards to take for a road test.

So what’s new with ümobile? It’s a new player in the telecoms industry, catering only to the 15 to 35 year old demographic. One thing that sets it apart from the older players, however, is the exclusivity. You can’t buy a ümobile sim card off the street; it’s invitation only. How’s that for exclusivity?

Anyway, the big thing about ümobile is the low rate it offers for calls. Sort of like Sun, but without the signal problems to offer. Wonder how I know about that? I have good reason to believe that ümobile is the baby of a very reliable telecoms company, so worry not about the signal availability. Don’t ask me how I know that. I have pretty good sources. Just know that I’m sure ümobile will have the low rates that Sun boasts of without the signal problems.

What keeps the rates low are the ads that pop up time and again in your inbox. That, in exchange for 100 pesos worth of load every month for six months, sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

So after this bit of plugging, maybe ümobile should give me a sim card. What do you think? If I had my own sim card, I could probably say more *hint* *hint*

I’m 25, just in case you were wondering.
